GAS BURNER.

Application led August 21, 1923.` Serial No. 658,629.

To all whom t may conce/m:

Be it known that I, ISRAEL B. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie Vand State of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Gas Burners, of which thefollowin is a specification.

This invention relates generally to a heating device but moreparticularlyV to a gas burner which is intended for use in stoves andfurnaces.

Oneof its objects is to provide an improved gas burner of this characterwhich is simple and compact in construction and which is so organizedthat it can be readily assembled and dismembered.

Another object of the invention is to provide an efficient and reliablegas burner which will produce a maximum amount Aof heat with a minimumexpenditure of fuel.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gasburner embodying my invention. Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section on line 3-3, Fig. 2. Figure4 is a transverse section on line 4 4, Fig. 2. Figure 5 is an enlargedvertical section of one of the burner-nozzles.

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views.

In its general organization, this burner comprises a supporting base orburner body 10, a mixer plate 11 surmounting said base and spacedtherefrom to form a universal mixing chamber, and an enclosure or basket12 mounted on the mixer plate for receiving the usual fire clay stilts13 or other incandescent gas fuel, for expanding the heat`. As shown inFig. 1, the burner is supported as a whole upon the furnace grates 14.

The supporting base or burner body is preferably of rectangular shapeand hollow form to provide a gas reservoir or manifold chamber 15 to thebottom. of which is connected a gas supply pipe 16. Projecting from theupper side of said burner body are a plurality of burner-nozzles 17which are uniformly spaced, as shown,'and whose gas passages 18terminate at their upper ends in sockets or enlargements 19. Seated inthese sockets are burner-tips 20 having gas port's 21 in alinement withthe nozzle passages 18 and transversely arranged air ports 22intersecting said gas ports. By constructing the burner tips in thismanner, air is drawn through the ports 22 and unites with the gas toproduce an extremely hot non-luminous ame, similar to that of the Bunsenburner.

Surmounting the burner body 10 and Suitably spaced therefrom is themixer plate 11, which is likewise rectangular and provided with aplurality of openings or flame passages 23 which are, by preference,axially in line with the burner-nozzles 17. The intervening horizontalspace 24 between the burner-tips and said mixer plate is open andunenclosed on all sides and furnishes an ample air supply to the severalburners while the passages 23 in the mixer plate, which open into saidair space and through which the flames project, form individualair-mixing tubes, thereby insuring complete combustion of the fuel andproducing a flame of intense heat.

The enclosure or basket 12 which contains the incandescent fuel 13 isdisposed directly over the inner plate 11. In the example shown in thedrawings, said mixer plate forms the bottom of the basket while theplates 25, 26, resting edgewise on the mixer plate, form the side andend walls thereof, respectively. These walls are preferably of aknock-down construction, so as to be readily detachable from saidmixer-plate, and for this purpose, the side walls are provided at theirends and intermediate their upper and lower edges with hook-likeprojections or tongues 27 which interlock with corresponding openings 28located in the end walls near opposite edges thereof. As shown in Figs.2 and 4, the side plates 25 are substantially flush with thelongitudinal edges of the mixer plate 11 while the end plates 26slightly overhang said edges. Both side and end plates may be providedwith openings 29 through whichthe -heat from the burner is expelled ordissipated.

The means for supporting the inner plate above and in spaced relation tothe burner body and for reliably retaining or securing the basket-.walls25, 26 to said mixer plate preferably consist of upright stud bolts 30located at the corners of the burner body and spacing sleeves 31 appliedto Said bolts and interposed between the top of said burner body and theopposing underside of the mixer plate. Bridge pieces or washers 32 areapplied to the top of the basket at the corners thereof. the bolts 30passing throug said bridge pieces and the nuts 33 serving to lock theseveral parts in their proper position.

This improved burner is strong, durable and compact in construction, andbeing composed o few parts can be manufactured at a moderate cost.Furthermore, it is very eiicient and reliable in operation, producing avery intense heat and rendering its use practically universal, not onlyfor domestic heating purposes, but also in bake ovens, enamelingfurnaces, etc.

I claim as my invention:

l. A gaseous fuel burner, comprising a supporting, base having agas-receiving chamber, a plurality of burnernozzles rising from saidbase, a mixer-plate surmounting thelatter in spaced relation thereto ltoform a universal mixing space, said space 20 being open and unenclosedon all sides, said mixer plate having dame openings thereinsubstantially in line with sald nozzles, and a retaining Wall forincandescent fuel supported on said mixer plate.

2. A gaseous fuel burner, comprising a supporting' base having agas-receiving chamber, a plurality of burner nozzles on said base, boltsrising from the base, a mixer lplate engaging said bolts, spacingmembers applied to said bolts between the top of said base and theunderside of said mixer plate, the space between said base and saidmixer platerbeing open and unenclosed on all sides, side and end wallsresting on said mixer plate and forming an enclosure for incan descent`fuel, and bridge-pieces located at the corners or said enclosure andthrough which said bolts pass.
